pretty sure he's serious too

Zerocracy boosts the productivity of software teams by rewarding and punishing programmers when they deserve it (programmers, not teams).

Zerocracy is non-intrusive: it doesn't tell programmers what to do, when, or how. Instead, it observes their actions and informs them when they earn or lose points.

As a manager, you can use the points earned by programmers to calculate their bonuses or even salaries. Even if you don't, the gamification alone will significantly improve team productivity and reduce turnover.

What the fuck

Why would you have an AI agent serve peoples requests from scratch when you could instead just write code that does the thing? Even if you accept AI's involvement, writing the boilerplate api code with AI assistance would make 100x more sense than having agentic responses per call.

Also, using imperative programming and frameworks instead of declarative would save man-power if you're so unconcerned with efficiency you'd resort to a GPU farm black box instead of coding. That will reduce efficiency by probably 50% but that's better than reducing efficiency by 95%.

    You have an LLM endpoint that caches responses. Like an endpoint that you just post a query to and an LLM with read only access to the database can give you some summary or something.

    Maybe even an endpoint that you can ping to get documentation about the actual API that's trained on the docs.
